This is an italic serif with a traditional, oldstyle construction and smooth, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin relationship with gently tapered terminals and a consistent diagonal stress that reads clearly in running text. The italic is expressive without being flamboyant: curves are open and flowing, joins are clean, and spacing feels balanced for text setting. Lowercase forms feature single-storey "a" and "g" with compact bowls, a slender ascending "f" with a pronounced rightward hook, and a slightly angled overall rhythm that keeps lines lively yet controlled.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine typography where an italic is needed for emphasis or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve refined branding, invitations, and cultural programs when a traditional, text-oriented serif voice is desired.
The tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and authority with a warm, human touch. Its italic character suggests tradition and emphasis suited to editorial voice, citations, and cultivated branding rather than loud display.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with classical calligraphic cues. It aims to provide a dependable italic companion for editorial typography, delivering emphasis through graceful motion and moderated contrast rather than high ornament.
Capitals are proportioned with a formal, inscriptional presence and restrained flourish, while the lowercase maintains readable apertures and steady texture. Numerals appear lining and stylistically consistent with the text, with subtle curvature and serif detailing that keeps them harmonious alongside letters.
